Earlier this year, Katie Kim from New Jersey entered through the K-Pop Star Global auditions and eventually outshined her competition to be signed by YG Entertainment — the home of 2NE1 and Big Bang. If you play your cards right, next year that could be you!

The application can be done via an application form available from the program’s webpage (click here to apply). You can also enter via Youtube but applicants are encouraged to attend the live auditions in person as the judges are able to assess performances better in person (plus, the whole thing will be taped for the show!).

The global auditions are being held throughout August so start preparing and get your applications in! Who knows, next year IdolWow! might just be writing about you?!
